Alright, Outer Banks,
one of the most popular shows on
Netflix and Josh for the very
few who have not seen it give a
little Cliff notes kind of overview
about the storyline of the show.
Sure, Outer Banks is an adventure show
about a group of teenagers on the Carolina
coast that are hunting for lost treasure.
I play Pope Hayward.
He's one of the four folks that go
on this treasure hunting adventure.
He's the smart one of the group.
One of the voice of reason the
treasure belongs to the post,
we gotta find it first and you know,
I think as all of them kind of
get deeper into this mystery
and into this adventure.
And, you know,
learned a lot about himself and you
know about his history and so yes,
I'm Austin North,
I play Topper on Outer Banks.
Who's one of the the kooks?
There's The Pogues.
And then the kooks,
kind of the rich,
prominent kids of the town
come from wealthy families.
Not the nicest people in
the world to begin with.
But we're all human at the end of the day.
And I'm really just enjoying
being a part of the show and
the development of my character,
and it's been great to work
with these lovely people and
he sinks my boat first season.
So I gotta, I gotta get back at him.
So it's just a constant back and forth.
Oh, you don't have the mic buddy,
you want to speak your mind.
Let me speak my mind let me speak my
mind you know that boat sinking thing
was because I got hit with a Golf
Club and jumped by by him not me.
I was there. I was there.
I didn't deserve
that. Rafe is an individual who's somewhat
going through an identity crisis.
You know he doesn't really.
Understand who he is at
this point in the story.
He's really trying to figure out
where he fits in to the groups
you know starts off as this.
You know, kind of kind of within these,
you know, these these rivalries
of the kooks and The Pogues.
And then has to then step up and fill the
shoes of his kind of his family legacy.
It's a lot of fun to play and you
know we're excited to see where
it takes us. We all kind of have.
A lot of creative freedom and creating
our own, you know our own characters
and putting our stamp on it and and
bringing ourselves to the role.
So I've been in catch him for 14 years.
You know, I've raised my kids up here
and you know, I wrote the series.
You know above a little restaurant above
Perries back here, so it's been great.
So so your inspiration
in kind of the light bulb for Outer
Banks was written just right.
The whole series has been written
like in Ketchum in the office.
That's about the size of like a closet.
You know, I love living here.
I love the Carolina coast.
Those are my two favorite places on Earth.
Everything's looking good for a long run,
so we're just super fired up.
We just want to keep it going.
We have a blast making the show.
It really is a family.
And yeah, it's just been a dream
come true to see the show blow up
like it has and to get these guys
my buddies up here on on my turf
tell us what you think about festival.
Lovely festival, it's a lovely
town. You got to see a lot
of really good projects.
The coffee talk we had was amazing.
A lot of great questions from you know,
a lot of people who came out to
support us and I think it's just.
It's amazing to see to be in a
space with a lot of other creators.
And you know that energy is very important.
I think for for you for you as a
creator to get the most out of yourself
so you know shout out to Sun Valley.
Shout out to Idaho.
Thank you guys for having us.
Yeah I did owe that for sure.
It's everyone's been so nice.
Hospitable and it's been caught
to come together and collaborate
and talk about, you know,
the arts on a casual, you know, level,
get out of the you know the I live
in LA and it can be a little hectic
at time, so this has been a nice little
getaway and we hope to be back again.
It's been a lot of fun.
Due to that as well, yeah.
I mean I, I think we've all we've all
treated this as a as an education.
You know process.
It's been a learning process, so
to kind of be in this, you know it's
kind of like an ivory tower here.
You know, it's a lot of creatives
and and collaborators, people.
We look up to. So it's been.
Yeah, it's it's been a great like cleansing,
cleansing couple days
and we're learning a lot.
We're still we're still kind of young
in this industry and starting out.
So it's it's it's very inspiring
to kind of be surrounded
by a lot of people that we look up to so.
And Sun Valley was a place for that,
so it's been. It's been great.
